The Sturgis swim team competed in the Division 3 State finals held this past weekend at Eastern Michigan University.

“It was a very fast swim meet and a tough meet to place at,” coach Andy Feyes said.

Sturgis didn’t place with any points at the event, but still swam well, Feyes said.

“I was very happy and pleased with the way the boys swam this weekend even if some did not have personal best times, it was still a great way to end the swim season,” he said.

Taking first place at the finals was East Grand Rapids with 278 points. Cranbrook Kingswood was second at 274 points, Detroit Country Day was third with 217 points, Bloomfield Hills Lahser was fourth at 194 points and with 177 points, Chelsea took fifth place.

Nathan Stemen swam in the 200 freestyle event with a time of 1:53.75 in the event. He also had a personal best time in the 500 freestyle race with a time of 5:09.38, which was 28th.

Grant Brown was also part of the group of Trojans to qualify for state. He had a time of 50.71 seconds in the 100 freestyle race and took 28th place. That was a personal best time for Brown.
